Back To Me

Chapter 26

Thozi's POV:

If I am completely honest with you, still in this moment I simply cannot believe that Karim in his right mind would even contemplate in climbing up the ladder against my apartment only to come and see me. This is something I would never expect from Karim, not at all. All that I thought he would do when I turned him away at the door would be to go home, go home to wait for the phone call from me, when I stated I was ready to see him. But no, with knowing what Karim is like and how he acts to rejection, I sort of should have seen this coming. All in my opinion, I do not think that this man understands the true meaning of no. And so was to be proved, with this little stunt of his in which he has pulled off on me so far in tonight now.

Although I did say no to wanting to see Karim earlier on in the night, as I am sure you are to be aware of, that was nothing but a big fat lie. I do not know why I did not just tell him how I did want to spend some time with him, it is unknown to me, but for some reason I was to be not able to admit it. And seeing Karim here now, in the flesh after everything that happened over the past few days, I am far more than relieved, to have him with me. Just the fact all of how he went through so much trouble – climbing up a ladder and cutting his hand all on his way up – it means a lot to me. It means so much to me, that he wanted to see me only ever so much as this, to do such a thing, to make sure that we could spend some time together.

This has proved so much to me in a sense with Karim, cleared all my unanswered questions I have been dying to ask him. If he truly does feel something for me? If he would only go back to Lucia, and try to work his way back in with her again? Or, if he was just using me, as some sort of game to pass by time and to get rid of Lucia if he really was bored of her? But all that of course has been cleared from my mind. Karim truly does care about me, he has proved all that to me now by pulling out all the stops to come and see me. I guess maybe with all those questions all in my mind, that could be the reason I did not tell him I wanted to see him, I do not know. But the only thing which matters to me now, is that I have Karim with me as now.

So anyway, soon enough, and the kiss of previous between Karim and I was broken, just due to the fact of us both needing to catch our breaths. And as I reopened my eyes and was then in that moment to look at Karim, I already noticing him looking at me, with a smile all just to be pressed up upon his lips. "You know I still can't believe you climbed up the ladder against the apartment, that was not something I would ever expect." Giggling as I spoke then all just in that moment, I leant my head against Karim's chest. Where in response to me doing so, in that second I felt as Karim proceeded to stroke my hair with his hand – the one which I hope is not covered in blood. "But then again, you can be very unpredictable at times, I must say."

Looking up at him as I spoke then Karim smirked, as if showing to me how he was to be ever so proud of himself for catching me off guard like this. "Well, what can I say?" His smirk was to only grow wider as he spoke then, causing me to admire the length of it upon his lips. Yes I am aware that I may be looking like a crazy person all due to me admiring him like this, but I simply cannot help myself. "You know me really well Ana." He laughed. "But one thing that I have always managed to surprise you with is how unpredictable I am, a little like I have just been able to do tonight with this whole ladder climbing situation." He laughed right as then.

As did I, laughing along with him as I gave him a shake of the head in the process of doing so then. "I have to admit Karim, that's exactly it. I've never been able to keep up with just how unpredictable you are." Giggling as I spoke then I tried to recall a moment in our past where he had done something so unpredictable, to try to share it with him, to show the side of him I absolutely adore. "Like our first year anniversary tonight." I looked up at Karim as I spoke, a smirk immediately appearing upon his lips as I mentioned it. "You made me believe that you weren't going to do anything with me, that you were going to spend the night with some of your friends. And what did you plan?" I laughed. "You made my sister ask me to go out that night, but instead made her drive me to the airport to meet you there, to take me to Paris!"
